WARNING: Serious operator injury could occur if the
operator has tied or strapped the loose end
of the operator's belt strap to the machine.
Always wrap the strap so that you can let go
and get away quickly in case of bag fire or
explosion.
4. Activate the control switch.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the floor, make sure the
machine is in motion when the contact wheel
is engaged with the floor.
5. Feather-cut in by easing the contact wheel down onto the
surface with the control lever while the sander is in motion.
6. When contact wheel is fully engaged with the surface, gradually adjust your pace for adequate finish removal. Keep
sander in motion while the contact wheel is engaged with the surface or dwell marks will occur.
7. Move the machine in the direction of the grain in the wood whenever it is possible. Sand the surface at a constant pace.
8. Gradually feather-cut out at the termination point by easing the contact wheel up with the control lever. (See Figure 13)
9. Repeat technique described in steps 5, 6, 7, and 8 and sand back down pass just made. When completed, begin a new
pass by overlapping previous pass half the width of the abrasive. Stagger termination points to prevent a distinct ridge and
a better blend when edging.
10. Empty contents of the dust bag into a metal container located outside the building. Dust bag should be emptied
whenever full, as indicated on bag.
WARNING:
Do not overfill dust bag or serious fire may result. Never leave a dust bag containing dust
unattended. Sanding dust can self ignite and cause a fire or explosion. Use only genuine
American Sanders replacement bags.
CAUTION:
Operating Instructions
An overfilled dust bag may effect machine balance and performance. Do not handle or disturb
dust bag and elbow while sanding or damage to the floor may occur.
